Thanks for Rosemary syrup recipe. Made it with all the left over watermelons from the 4th of July for Rosemary-Watermelon Margaritas. Yum.

This is going on my “to try” list, next time we do a champagne cocktail bar. We did one for Christmas 07, and planned to do one for Christmas 08 (until Christmas got snowed out, that is).

Such an easy idea, and everyone loved it. Next time I think we’ll add some bitters and garnishes, like you did.

Your photographs are gorgeous as always!

I am so sorry to hear you have been so sick. Hope you feel 100% soon! This cocktail is gorgeous and named after the wind from my region of France (and the restaurant I used to work for). I have to add that I made my mother a St Germain Champagne Cocktail when she got in last Monday and she loved it!

I was about to turn off my laptop but that picture drew my attention,
It’s so pretty.

Sam: This cold season is the worst! Hope you’re on the mend soon. And yes, I am really looking forward to digging into the book!

A4C: Usually, I agree with you. But this one was so bad, even the usual medicinal doses didn’t seem appealing. Ugh! Thanks for the get-well wishes.

Terry: I agree — I’m a big fan of savory-sweet combos in drinks, especially… sage is another herb that plays so well with cocktails.

This sounds wonderfully ethereal! And I love the use of rosemary with something sweet. It's at the heart of a simple Rosemary Apricots dessert I make.

Winter’s a tough season, but it’s a bit easier with alcohol by your side.
Hope you feel better!

oh no – anita – i am sorry. i have been sick too – off work twice this week – but just beginning to start to feel better. I haven’t been able to drink for a whole week either (apart from a hot toddy but made with meyer lemon and amaretto every night before bed). We had a really nice bottle of wine i opened the day before I got sick and the second half has sat on the counter forlornly ever since, I just couldn’t face drinking it. I hope you will be well enough to enjoy your book more pro-actively soon.
